I am disgusted with you that you are even considering the notion of ownership of this piece of literature. I am 28 years old, and this is the second book that I have read ever, first being Hop on Pop (which was AWESOME!!!), and I found it appalling that they allow this type of book on the market. Plot summary: Drunk grandfather refuses to get out of bed, and due to this, little Willy is forced to take on myriad problems that should not be forced upon such a young soul, including dealing with a 6-foot Alcoholic indian man with a shotgun and blood-thirsty wolf dogs, an un-tillable field, the death of his best friend and, of course, DEMOCRATS!
Children should not have to deal with the psycho-sematic problems that now plague me due to the off colour writing and poor emphasis on the deep rooted system of family values that is an integral part of this nation.
Reynolds is a Satanist. Stone Fox should be called Your Parents are Drunks, and You should Should Give Them Money that you Make By Killing Your Best Friend.

I have a hard time understanding why so many of my teaching colleagues like this book. It is very poorly crafted and very predictable. Many of the situations are painfully unrealistic and the Native American character borders on stereotyping. This is a book to avoid.

The book I read was Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner. I didn’t really like the book because there was no action in it. My favorite character was Stone Fox. I liked him because he was evil. The main idea was about this guy and his grandson who lived on a farm. The boys grandfather almost dies. But Willy saves him. I would not recommend this book for anyone.

This book was the worst one ever! I realy hated it!!! It burned my eyes to read it… I mean “Litte” Willy? What kind of a name is that? A dog THAT old couldn’t poll a plow, let alone run that fast!

I read the book Stone Fox by Mary Pope Osborne. I give this book three stars because this is a good story. The book is about a boy named Willy and his dog named Searchlight. They are trying to save the farm. Little Willy is trying to save the farm because the tax man said; “if they don’t give five hundred dollars he is going to take the farm away.” Little Willy enters a race and the prize money is five hundred dollars. The guns go off, they start the race. Is Little Willy going to win and save the farm? Read and find out. I would recommend this book to a friend because it’s exciting.
